Most women dont know what sugar is ?

For 100 miles ?

Could well b the condensor, cheap to change and rule out.

Just as well you dont need your thumb for typing

Forks need to brought in for a start. I'm told the frames are double walled, so its always going to be comparativly heavy.

Are you going to do a Madona and start adopting BJ ? If so I'm first in the que, bonus indeed.

Hi all I lost all sparks on my B40, havnt had a chance to get into it but would like to know how to check the lucas generator. Also are there any checks for Boyer systems ? How long do they last, it must be a least 10 years old. (Just had a look at the Boyer site and they have fault finding information) Any common problems ? Bad earth, plug cap ? I get the occasional backfire when kicking it over, but can hold the plug and get nothing. The coil is quite old so I may change this as a matter of course. I've tryed a couple of new plug to eliminate that, but have got no further. Any pointers appreaciated Ross

Dog leg levers might give you the reach you require, see below as an example. You might be able to use your original cables, but not definatly. http://www.trialsbits.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=307

Some great pictures, was there and saw it.

Did Martin drop one there as well, many years ago ?

Speak to C & D Autos 01564 795000 They will give you an answer and supply the part, I hope.

Trying to get my bike working again. (Stolen / recovered) An air cooled Aprilia with Rotax engine. The flywheel has been spinning on the shaft after the woodruff key sherred. I think the crankshaft is ok, but the taper on the flywheel has suffered, question is does the keyway start from nothing, or has it been worn away by the crankshaft ? Anybody out there want to sell a flywheel, if required ? The wiring has all been pulled out but shouldnt be to difficult to reinstate. I've got the engine out, head off, but the barrel wont move. Of the 8 studs that secure the head 4 go through to the crankcase ? I've put release oil down and will leave it overnight. Is it best to remove these studs first ? Its still on the original piston so never been off . (32:1 smokes but works) The **** I got it back from said it had been seized, but I can see little evidence. There is one score, which is visible, but I can feel nothing with my finger nail. Worth doing anything about ? The plastic cover for adjusting the cluth has been off (cross threaded on the way back of course) The lobe of the slote has been snapped off and I suppose I will have to go in there to retrieve it. The clutch may also be buggered as it had been "adjusted" by the clowns. The splines for the kickstart are also looking a bit sad, can that shaft be replaced, and are they available ? There is no gearbox oil in it, but the sump plug hasnt been out (I know this as anything they have touched is buggered/rounded/missing) How did the oil gat out ? Could it be past the seal on the kickstart/gear shaft ? Although I have had this bike for approx 20 years, I have little experience with the engine because it has been utterly dependable. An advice / help gratfully received. Ross

Used to find them quite regularly, seem to becoming an endangered species. Wonder if I could get a grant and do a ten year study ?

http://www.idmcc.co.uk/ Ridden it twice and intend to do so again this year. Mixture of sections including some water. Good weekend, not a huge course but fairly demanding in places. Big selection of bikes and abilities. Greeves comes over from Spain to ride it, which tells alot. Two routes, pre65 & twinshock. There were some pictures on the http://todotrial.mforos.com/65594/7217291-...e-para-el-2008/ dont know if they are still there. Usually camp across the road with several other riders.

Also chips forth & Les fifth !

Got it back today, after advertising for months on Gumtree (using picture from Pedronicman, thanks) I would also really like to thank the Police - unfortunatly, as they didnt actually do sod all, and refused to accompany me this morning, they have sunk to an all time low.

Start worring when I call you Donna.

Over to you Duncan Fish !

One careful, mature owner. The rest were a**holes.

Stop & die rule ?

Counterfiet / money laundering, just to add to your woes.

On low pressures you can go round the corners on opposite lock, looks spectacular.
